Ladies and gentlemen, I am Olga, your academic guide. Let’s talk about effective sentences.

A correct sentence may not express an idea it intends to express very clearly or forcefully.

Correctness alone cannot make a good sentence.
It has to be effective at the same time.

Effective sentences have some or all of the following qualities: unity, coherence, conciseness, emphasis, and variety.

A unified sentence expresses one single complete thought.

Coherence means clear and reasonable connection between parts.

Conciseness deals with the absence of unnecessary words or repetitions.

An important idea is expressed with emphasis.

And it’s good to vary sentence structures and mix different types of sentences not to sound monotonous.

Improve your skills, and see you tomorrow.
